I will be replacing parts as they worn out with japanese for sure just want to make sure if 2007~ CRF 450 (is it ture ????) parts are interchangeable if YES than that would be a great advantage and bike would become even more releable...

it looks like LX450 and NC250 share the 2008 CRF450X chasis, and while the NC250 uses Zongshens ZS177MM engine (the same one you have in RX3), the LX's engine is the (almost) exact copy of 2008 CRF450X...

I think you are correct, I wonder how did Honda let them replicate there 10year old model of CRF.... or may they had some kind of production agreement ? not sure just guessing...

This month my old pocket rocket "cg250" went bad and rejected to fire up .... so have been using the 450 for regular commute.....

Today had some time in the morning when my super half decided to drop kids to school so I was free gave her a good wash...

beside a super offroader it is a Very excellent city runner i must u literally are riding a controlled bullet , feul milage is 18~20km/Liter I am noticing.... seat is a brick... and the filter box is hope less it unscrews every next day and finally slipped..

If you are over imagining that one can even try to ride a bike at 80kmh in a one of the major city of south asia then you are not thinking right... one can hardly do a maximum of a 40~50km that if you find a road or a patch or road where you can.... given that the roads have horse carts, tuk tuk, rickshaws, a storm of 50~70cc motorcycles and buses, cars.. you name it...

What I do mean by bullet is that you are just can gain speed and brake in eye blinks on this machine I am loving it... you are dominating the road and traffic due to that.

and yes it is giving 18+ very happily it has a small feul tank so I can judge it very easily. Becuase in offroading days when we head to forests its avg is usually 15~km/L ubt nowadays I see 20km/L very easy. (carb : I rejected th pilot jet from 44number to 46)

What could be the milage for normal comuting - if it is possible at all to drive it slowly
